5-String Banjo 24 Bracket with Closed Solid Back and Geared 5th Tuner

The Jameson Guitars 5-String Banjo is a great budget-friendly option for beginners and intermediate players. It features generic but decent strings that don't need to be changed until they get old. The banjo's build quality is superb for its price, and its QC division guarantees against major defects such as irregular fretting, incorrectly shaped bridges and nuts. The resonator is removable through four thumbscrews that can be undone, and the triangular wire grommets can snap or tie a strap onto. It is very easy to play and keeps in tune when set up properly. Although some reviews mention a few shortcomings such as the metal thumb screws for the resonator feeling like they will strip easily, the neck being easy to bend when not handled carefully, and the tuning keys feeling loose, these are generally not deal-breakers, especially at this price point. As a whole, the Jameson Guitars 5-String Banjo is an excellent banjo for beginners who want to start playing at home.
